The World's Tallest Tin Soldier — Attraction in Quayside

I was passing by river market and I found out the world's tallest tin soldier. It's just next to a market where you can find fresh fruits and vegetables and the area has such a nice lookout. My sister and me got some pictures and enjoyed such a great time, watched the sunset and ate some seafood from the boathouse which is a restaurant with an awesome service. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth the view. Just in front of the tin soldier there is a small playground for kids around 10 years old and next to it there is the Fraser River discovery centre as well. We had the fortune to enjoy everything around during Christmas time and it's so colorful because there are Christmas lights almost everything, so when the sunset is coming, there are a lot of good spot to take pictures because of these lights. It's also an area where you can go enjoy a nice sightseeing, do some exercise, take your dog for a walk or go with your partner for a date. It's definitely a great place to go to visit in case you live far away. Won't be disappointed and highly recommend because everything around is...

Located in the New Westminster River Market, this is the World's Tallest Tin Solder. He stands 9.75 meters tall and is wearing size 60 boots. He weighs 4540 kilograms and was recorded in 2002 by the Guinness Book of World Records.

The Tin Soldier is based on a replica of a Sergeant Major of the Royal Engineers Columbia Detachment. He was originally installed on November 29, 2000 at the Royal New Westminster and then relocated to its current location on the Quay on February 14, 2002. He was originally owned by the Simon Fraser Society of Community Living and gifted him to the City of New West Minster in 2011.

I saw him in October 2023 so he's not a "seasonal" thing rolled out...
